UFC officials today announced the withdrawal, and “The Polish Pistola” now awaits a new opponent.

UFC on FX 6 takes place Saturday, Dec. 15, at Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre in Broadbeach, Gold Coast, Australia. The event’s main card airs live on FX (on Friday, Dec. 14, in the U.S. due to the time difference) following prelims on FUEL TV.

Noke is coming off a quick TKO stoppage of Charlie Brenneman at September’s UFC 152 event. The win snapped a two-fight skid and was the Australian’s first after dropping from middleweight to welterweight. Noke started his UFC career 3-0 after his stint on Season 11 of “The Ultimate Fighter.” He had stoppage wins over Josh Bryant, Rob Kimmons and Chris Camozzi before his back-to-back losses to Ed Herman and Andrew Craig.

The exact nature of Noke’s injury was not revealed, and a timetable was not established for his return.

Baczynski is on a nice 4-0 UFC run at welterweight with three stoppages. At UFC 152, Baczynski stopped Simeon Thoresen with a first-round knockout. Baczynski also beat Lance Benoist, Matt Brown and Clay Harvison on his current streak.

UFC on FX 6 will feature a main event lightweight bout between Ross Pearson and George Sotiropoulos, the coaches of the current edition of “The Ultimate Fighter: Australia vs. UK.” In addition, longtime Australia resident Hector Lombard will meet Rousimar Palhares.
